White House officials and Democratic strategists are privately worrying how Elon Musk's $44 billion hostile takeover of Twitter will affect the 2024 presidential election — especially whether the billionaire will allow former President Donald Trump return to the platform.
Officials within President Joe Biden's administration are closely watching the deal, according to more than half a dozen advisors to Biden, including two administration officials. Some on Biden's team are growing increasingly concerned the Tesla CEO will allow Trump and other Republican operatives who were banned from Twitter to return to the platform, these people said, asking on to be identified to speak freely about internal discussions among senior Democratic advisors.
Twitter's board accepted Musk's offer to take the social media company private, the company confirmed Monday. The deal is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.
"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," Musk said in a statement included in the press release announcing the deal.
